Star vs the Forces of Evil: The Ballad of Earth-Mewni

Episode 38: Sins Past: An Earthni Halloween (Part 2)

A few moments earlier...

The pissed off mewman found himself stamping & heaving heavily down the sidewalk, trying desperately to keep up with Star, Marco, & their party after he decided to run his big mouth & make a mountain out of a molehill out of Miles's Star Butterfly costume. During his run, he found himself frequently closing his eyes to block out the discomfort his body was feeling from overall fatigue. In doing so, he inadveratntly blocked out his ability to get out of the way of incoming people. As a result...

SLAM!

The Mewman found himself crashing into a figure & knocking back onto the ground, his body a little more worse for the wear. "Hey, what's the big idea, punk!?" He bellowed before his eyes opened and he discovered what exactly he crashed into. Or rather, who he crashed in to.

"Excuse me!?" Nobody could mistake it for anyone else. It was the deep, crackling, booming voice of none other than Lord Brudo, father to Ludo & his siblings, who was wandering around town in a bitter moping mess for some reason. His wive was with him, and she chose to remain silent. "You have some nerve on you, punk."

"Me?" The mewman yelled, standing himself up & dusting himself off. "You're the one standing there like a fat sack of bricks. I'm runnin' here!"

Lord Brudo was in no mood to be sassed at, and he showcased it by grabbing the mewman by his shirt & lifting him off the ground. "And what's the hurry for you, loser!?"

"What's it to you, punk?! I gots me a score to settle."

"Oh do you? Well you're not the only one, fool. Who's your beef with?"

"Some group of kids and this little twink boy wearing a dress and this group of sentient frogs or whatever."

"...Frogs..." Despite the fact that Lord Brudo & his family were not frogs of any kind, the mere reference to them as such made a lightbulb go off in his head. "Ludo! That sniveling little twit that made nice with the treasonous "princess" and her band of morons! AND stole our castle from us! Twice!"

"So you got your beefs with them clowns too, eh?"

"I've been waiting a long time to find them & give them a piece of our mind! I'll make them pay for staining the Avarius name!" And he was dead serious about his intentions as well. But that didn't stop his wife from hesitating & looking away. Nobody knew better than she did what Lord Brudo was capable of.

"Hey, uh, your lady okay there?" The mewman asked, but Brudo would hear none of it.

"That's irrelevent. Now listen, bub, it looks like we can both get what we want here!"

"OH yeah? How?"

"I'll tell you on the way. Follow me! To the castle!"

==Page Break==

And now...

And that's how the angry mewman & Lord Brudo joined forces to find the group & give them what for. And now here they were, in the lobby of the castle, frantically darting their heads in every direction, looking for some sign of them to carry out...whatever plan they had devised in their tiny heads, of which they had none. Still, even a spontaneous assault by them could have disasterous results. The group had to act quickly.

"You guys sure you want to do this?" Marco whispered to Ludo & Dennis, who were covering their siblings in the even that they faced an attack.

"Yes." But Ludo was undeterred, inspiring the others to take a stand also. "I'm sick of that...that thing trying to ruin the good things we have now. He's done it all our lives. Well the buck stops here."
